What thematic style should the Dr. Strange movie be in? Should it be action-sci-fi like the Marvel movies up to date? Should it be more horror-suspense? Should it be broad fantasy like Hobbit/LOTR? Should it try to tread another road entirely?

I would like to see it horror/suspense with some fantasy action. Gothically ornate, super tense, but still darkly funny. Like Ninth Gate, The Prophecy, The Prestige, Angel Heart, The Order with shades of The Sorcerer's Apprentice but ya know less goofy and actually like they are trying.

I voted other because basically you're going to need elements of all the other choices to make this work. No Marvel superhero movie can be w/o action and a sense of adventure. Those are foundational and a common denominator of all their films and Dr. Strange is no exception. But I agree with calling it "dark fantasy" as that seems most accurate to the unique factors/variables that Dr. Strange brings to the superhero movie table.

There was never anything "light" about the series. Dr. Strange is about black magic, the occult, HP Lovecraft stories (sometimes quite literally, as they borrowed actual names and characters from the Cthulhu mythos), and psychedelic forces of supernature that threatened to rip apart the very fabric of reality.

I've never read a Dr. Strange comic that made me giggle. Even one bit.
